Scheduling

ETA has a scheduling methodology to meet anyone's needs

ETA has several options for creating your schedule. The Direct Scheduler lets you schedule activities directly to the schedule without going through a schedule request.


Schedule requests are submitted by an instructor and reviewed by a scheduling manager. Based on several factors, the scheduler can decide to submit the activity to the schedule or deny it.


Block scheduling allows you to schedule blocks of time for certain recurring activities in a class. 



A New Way to Look at Scheduling

  •  View your schedule through the Internet
  • Schedule unavailability (vacations, dental and doctor appointments)
  • Schedule miscellaneous activities (safety meetings, instructor briefings)
  • Instructors can schedule activities in advance
  • Based on the training course, ETA determines the next activity that should be scheduled for each student
  • Verifies required instructor currencies and qualifications prior to scheduling
  • Verifies required student qualifications and currencies prior to scheduling

Talon Systems ETA  - New schedule request

Schedule Requests

The new schedule request puts all the important information at your finger tips. Is this student down? Is the student missing any qualifications or currencies?, What and when was this student's last activity? 

Has the student read all required flight information files? and much much more!


Training Resources

Training Resources is the module in ETA where you create resource types and actual resources. You can create a resource type, Cessna 172 and then create all your C172 tail numbers under that type. In Training resources you have the following categories: Aircraft, Simulators, Vehicles, Buildings, Rooms, Office Equipment and Miscellaneous.

Resource Type Currencies and Qualifications

You can setup an aircraft type to have "Qualification" requirements. This means that a person without this qualification should not be allowed to get on the schedule for that resource type.

Similarly, ETA would help stop a person from flying if they're Medical Currency has expired.

Talon Systems ETA - Resource Configurations - Pilot in Cockpit

Resource Configuration

You can define unlimited configurations for a resource. For example, you could setup an aircraft to have the following configurations: GPS, Radio Magnetic Indicator, Approved for Spins, Glass Cockpit, even meals, drinks, in-flight movie or champagne !
